‘In The Room' is an intimate event series for ambitious women working in advertising, creative, social, and PR agencies.
About this Event

Created by Coach Kat and no sunday blues, this series is designed for women with approximately 7+ years experience, who want to move up, earn more, and grow their careers in the industry they love. It’s not surface-level networking. It’s strategic conversations, practical coaching, and connection with other likeminded women.

Our first session focuses on strategic career planning and self-advocacy. You’ll gain practical tools to take ownership of your career trajectory, make bold moves with confidence, advocate for a promotion or payrise, and future-proof your creative industry career.

Through a blend of high-value teaching, live leadership conversation, and small-group discussion, you’ll leave with actionable insights and meaningful connections with other senior agency women.
